PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Epistle Writen By Our Savior We are publishing below a letter supposed to be written by Christ. It is being published by many papers throughout the country. According to the history of the letter it was written by Christ just after his crucifixion, signed by Angel Gabriel ninety-nine years after the Savior's birth and presumably deposited by him under a stone at the foot of the cross. On the stone appeared the legend; "Blessed is he who shall turn me over." No one knew what the inscription meant or seemed to have sufficient curiosity to investigate, until the stone was turned over by a little child and the letter which follows was discovered. "Whosoever works on the Sabbath day shall be cursed. I command you to go to church and keep holy the Lord's day, without any manner of work. You shall not idle or misspend your time in bedecking yourself in superfluities of costly apparel and vain dressing, for I have ordered it a day of rest. I will have that day holy that your sins may be forgiven you. You will not break my commandments, but will observe and keep them, they being written by my hand and spoken from my mouth. You shall not only go to church yourselves, but also your man servant and maid servant. Observe my words and learn my commandments. "You shall finish your work every Saturday at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, at which hour the preparation for the Sabbath begins. I advise you to fast five days in the year, beginning on Good Friday and continuing the five days following in remembrance of the five bloody wounds I received for you and mankind. "You shall love one another and cause them that are not baptized to come to church and receive the holy sacrament; that is to say, baptism, and then the supper of the Lord, and be made a member thereof, and in so doing I will give you long life and many blessings. Your land shall be replenished and bring forth abundance, and I will comfort you in the greatest temptations, and surely he that doeth to the contrary shall be cursed." "I will also send hardness of the heart on them and especially on hardened and unpenitent unbelievers. He that hath given to the poor shall find it profable. Remember to keep the Sabbath day, for the seventh day I have taken as a resting day to myself. "And he that hath a copy of this letter written by my own hand and spoken by my own mouth and keepeth it without publishing it to others, shall not prosper, but he that publisheth it to others shall be blessed by me, and if their sins be as many as the stars by night, and if they truly believe they shall be pardoned, and they that believe not this writing and my commandments will have my plagues upon you and you will be consumed with your children, goods and cattle and all other worldly enjoyments that I have given you. Do not once think of what I have suffered for you; if you do it will be well for you in this world and in the world which is to come. "Whosoever shall have a copy of this letter and shall keep it in their house, nothing shall hurt them, neither pestilence, thunder nor lightning, and if any woman be in birth and put her trust in me, she shall be delivered of her child. You shall hear no more news of me except through the Holy Scriptures until the day of judgment. All goodness and prosperity shall be in the house where a copy of this letter is found. Finished." The story goes that the little child who found it passed it to one who became a convert to the Christian faith. He failed to have the letter published. He kept it, however, as a sacred memento of Christ and it passed down to different generations of his family for more than one thousand years. During this period the family suffered repeated misfortune, emigrated to different countries until finally one of them came to America, bringing the letter with him. They settled in Virginia, then moved further South, still followed by misfortune when finally the last member, a daughter, appoached her deathbed and called a neighbor Mrs. Thompson, giving her the letter and related its history for more than one thousand years. The Thompson woman began the attempt to have it published and it first appeared in the Rome (Ga.) Tribune on October 31. 1891. It then appeared in the Dalton (Ga.) Citizen, and Mrs. Wortman, now living in Marion, Ind., clipped it and kept it in her possession for many years without an effort to have it published. She was followed by misfortune, which she attributed to her neglect in trying to have the letter published. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 6 1912. State Hist & Nut Hl State House HANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA Mrs. Ruoy Crutchfield of Trezvant, Tenn., is also said to have had a copy and failed to make an effort to have it published for three years, and was followed by a varied lot of misfortune, which she attributed to the fact of her neglect in this respect. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. To Be Held in Chicago.—Delegates From Nearly Every State in the Union to Be Present. — Local Chicago Committees at Work. The Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Chicago on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 21, 22 and 23, 1912. The local Negro Business League of Chicago has secured the Seventh Regiment Armory for the sessions. Delegates intending to be present should, as early as practicable, notify W. D. Neighbors, Secretary Chicago Negro Business League, 3517 State Street, Chicago, of such intention, so that proper accommodations may be reserved. Last year, nearly every state in the Union was represented at the annual meeting held in Little Rock. Officers of the organization are now earnestly at work to secure at Chicago an even larger gathering. The Little Rock meeting set a high standard in point of attendance, attractiveness of program, and hospitality of its citizens, but the Chicago League is striving to have the coming meeting surpass all previous ones. The Chicago Chamber of Commerce joined with the Local Negro Business League in inviting the National Organization to meet in Chicago, and is co-operating to welcome and entertain those who may attend. Very low reduced rates will be offered from all parts of the country, and especially from the South, for the meeting. Local Leagues are urged to elect delegates at once. Experience has shown that the railroad authorities in every section of the country are willing to arrange for special Pullman or Tourist Car parties. It is earnestly desired that plans for such parties be arranged for as early as practicable. Some of the strongest men and women of the Negro race will be present and speak at the coming meeting. These gatherings annually bring together a group of hopeful, energetic, aspiring and successful men an women who are doing their part of the world's work. Sessions of the following affiliated organizations will be held at the same time: The National Negro Bankers' association; the National Negro Funeral Directors' association; the National Negro Press association, and the National Negro Bar association—a group of the strongest organizations in the country among the Negro people. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. President. EMMET J. SCOTT, Cor. Secretary. J. C. NAPIER. Chair. Ex. Committee. FORAKER FOR TAFT Cincinnati, June 25.—Former United States Senator Joseph Benson Foraker has issued a statement calling upon all Republicans to lay aside their differences and get together for the election of President Taft. He says that, all things equal, the Grand Old Party can be returned victorious by an enormous majority in November if they will but forget their differences of opinion any all get down to work for the election of Taft. Senator Foraker has not been in the fight; in fact he has kept as far away from it as possible. His stasement says that while many opinions have been expressed in the last few weeks on the wisdom of the choice of Taft for the leader of the Republican party—and he does not hesitate to say that this has proved a great stumbling block in the paths of many men—nevertheless he advises the entire country to work for his election. Senator Foraker's statement in part follows: "It is the duty therefore of all Republicans to turn their backs upon the last six months of interpathy wrangling and strife; to turn their faces toward the common enemy. "In this hour bitterness and division must be relegated to the rear and every effort must be made to solidify our ranks and inspire all with the spirit of union, harmony and triumph." "Roosevelt men, La Follette men and Cummins men and Taft men must all alike forget past differences and remember only the virtues of each of these great leaders, and with a common united effort go forword to another national victory for the Republican party, which is greater than any man, and to which we are more devoted than we can be to any individual. "Mr. Sherman is a Republican of the old school. "Mr. Sherman is a Republican of the old school He is known as a staunch Republican. His renomination will be found very popular the country over." Helena, Arkansas Reporter says: There is more talk of a Negro daily newspaper to be started at some stragetic point in the upper South. Our advice would be to run a big sixteen page weekly successfully, change within a year or two to a semi-weekly and make a success; later change to a tri-weekly and make that go; then swing into a daily and it ought to go. Old Italian industry. Salt has been manufactured commercially in Italy for more than two thousand five hundred years. RACE NEWS George H. Woodson, a graduate of the law department of Howard University, class of '95, now practicing law in the Buxton district of Iowa, has been nominated for the Iowa legislature. The nearness of the completion of the work on the Panama Canal and the decreasing size of the appropriations will make impossible the appointment of a Negro chapplain to minister to the spiritual needs of the colored employees of the federal government in the Canal Zone, as asked for by the men on the ground and urged by prominent colored men in this country. Register J. C. Napier made a gallent fight for the creation of the place, and made a convincing presentation of the case to the War Department. Lowell, Jund 26.—The commencement exercises of the Lowell high school were held this evening at Keith's Theatre, when a class of 223 boys and girls were awarded their diplomas in the presence of a large gathering of parents and friends. The first graduation exercises of the school were held in 1858. The salutatorian of the evening was Teresa G. Lew, a colored girl, whose exceptional ability as a studen, placed her at the head of her class of girls. Miss Lew's family is well known in Lowell, its ancestry in these parts dating back before the revolution. Her brother was also graduated from this school with honors a few years ago. The valedictorian was William C. Noonan, and among those who received diplomas with a Chinese lad, Wong Dick. When his name was called he came to the centre of the stage he was given a warm reception by the audience. Wong Dick was born in China and came to this country with his father when very young. Recently the Times-Democrat of New Orleans told the story of a Negro in the late Mississippi flood who was anxious for the safety of his cettle as for himself—an example of devotion worthy greater publicity! An old Negro who had driven his cattle through the country all the way from Fordoche ahead of the crevasse water, walked up to one of the representatives of the government and asked: "Cap is you running the government?" "W. H. Taft, Washington, D. C., is running the government, old man, and I am only a very small cog in the wheel," was the reply. NO43 "What do you want?" The old man explained that he had driven his live stock for miles in front of the advancing water, and that both he and his cattle were nearly exhausted from hunger. "All I wants, cap," he continued, "is just a little bit for my cows and a sandwich for myself." "A Negro like you can get feed for his cattle, even if I have to pay for it myself," replied the governmet agent. The Negro was furnished with four bales of hay from the government supply depot and then taken over to the commissary and given a square meal. Frederick D. McCracken, of St. Paul, Minn., associated in a responsible capacity with Representative Frederick C. Stevens, is taking a lively interest in promoting the passage of the bill pending before Congress to strengthen the weak spots in the employers' liability law and to protect workingmen in the matter of compensation. A recent judicial decision, going against a Pullman porter on a technicality, indicated to Mr. McCracken the dangers which lie in the wake of the faithful men who look after the comfort of passengers and who daily risk their lives with a possibility of recovering nothing substantial in the event of injury in the line of duty. Mr. McCracken has personally interviewed a score or more of the most influential members of both houses, and has laid before them the conditions under which the Pullman and other porters labor—all of them are colored, of course. He has been assured that the rights of these men will be protected, and that the employers' liability law, bearing directly upon their case, will be made directly upon their case, will be made rigid enough to guarantee satisfactory compensation in the event of accidents on the road, the responsibility for which the company cannot escape, through any quaisi-agreement with the employee or otherwise. Mr. McCracken is a great help to the race, especially in matters of patronage and legislation. In more than one instance, when a dilatory Senate held up confirmation of worthy colored men, Mr. McCracken has been able to stir up sufficient interest on the part of leading senators to pull appointments out of the "pigeon-holes" for action, and has won over members who have been inclined to deny colored men the privilege of holding places above the level of the common-pilace. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS 4 BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE.

Closing the fiscal year 1912 with a surplus of $36,335,830 the federal treasury opened the new year, July 1, with $99,360,000 in its steel ribbed vaults as a working balance. This is the largest amount of available cash the government has possessed for months. The federal government closed the fiscal year June 29 with a surplus of $32,000,000, according to estimates based on incomplete returns from the sources of revenue the country over. This amount far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of Secretary McVaagh, who months ago estimated that the surplus would be $10,250,000. The House passed the army appropriation bill in the same form as last February before the Senate amendments brought it under the veto of President Taft. The amendments affecting the general staff of the army, one of which would have legislated its chief, Major General Leonard Wood, out of office and the provision for a commission to decide upon the number and location of army posts were left out. The terrible death rate in American coal mines is on the decline, and the bureau of mines is confident the high-tide has been passed. Figures just given out by the bureau show a decrease of 317 deaths from coal mining in the last year, the figures being 2,517 against 2,834 for the previous year. The death rate for 1910 was 3.91 men in every 1,000 employed; in 1911 it was 3.74. The passage of a Senate bill which would prohibit interstate shipment of prize fight moving picture films was blocked in the House. SPORT. WESTERN LEAGUE STANDING. Clubs Won Lost Pct.

Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian promoter, has written Champion Jack Johnson and offered him $30,000 for a bout to be fought in Kangarooool within the next year. It is supposed Johnson's prospective antagonist is Sam Langford, though the name of that colored fighter is not mentioned. Mcintosh offers to post at once, a forfeit of $10,000 as a guarantee of good faith. Johnson has not yet decided whether he will accept the offer. FOREIGN. The Order of the Red Eagle of the second class has been conferred by Emperor William of Germany on Allison V. Armour of New York.

Will Submit 32 Measures. Denver.—Thirty-two subjects have been filed in the office of the secretary of state for submission to the people at the next general election under the initiative and referendum. The Direct Legislation League, which has several petitions, the state highway commission and others are to be heard from. Five constitutional amendments and laws were referred to the people by the Legislature, seven bills passed by the last Legislature have been referred to the people by petition, and eighteen proposed laws and constitutional amendments have been initiated. Secretary of State Pearce declares he will economize in having the measures printed in the newspapers of the state. There is question whether publication is required in four or five issues, the constitution reading that bills submitted to the people must be printed for four successive weeks. Most editors contend that it is impossible to publish for four successive weeks without having the advertisement appear in five issues of a weekly newspaper. If it is held that five publications are necessary the state must pay 48 cents an inch additional to every newspaper used. Secretary Pearce says he will not advertise in daily newspapers every day for four weeks, but will select one day of the week and make the publication four times. Silver Lake Mine Houses Burn.

The home training of the child is of as much importance in laying the foundation as the training of the schools. Up to a certain age, say twelve years, the child is subject more to the influence of the mother than of the father. Indeed, when the mother gets through with shaping the education of the child the kindergarten, the primary, grammar and high school grades, and turns him over to the father for his higher and finishing education the father, oftener than otherwise instead of undertaking the work himself, pays some one else to do it for him, turns the son over to the preparatory school head master and the university professor for a term of seven years. In the main, the father has very small part in the home training and education of the child, whether boy or girl; the work falls mostly upon the mother. Women, therefore, should have the very highest and best home training and scholastic education to prepare them to be the very best wives and mothers. The new president of Princeton university, Dr. John Grier Hibben, in his inaugural address, speaking on "The Essentials of Higher Education," stated it as his belief that "the chief end of an education is the making of a man." It is "the progress of developing a power within which enables the human being to dominate the instincts and habits of his animal life." As to higher education this is true in a larger sense than is generally accepted. Only the person with the highest education is capable of overcoming the anima bruta of the heart in conflict with the animisma bruta of the soul—the microbes of the body that thrive upon ignorance and filth and die when in conflict with the animisma of the soul, of the spirit. It is from this viewpoint that President Hibben's definition is most valuable. But for the every day life we adhere to the definition once made in the Southern Workman, that education should aim primarily to fit the person to make a living, to make the most of his opportunities, along the lines of least resistance. Industrial education does this; coupled with a university education it does it in a double and higher sense. Much profit should be gained by a careful study of Dr. Hibben's elaboration of his idea, in the following: "While man is a part of the natural world he also belongs to the world of mind and of spirit. "The particular function of education is to give him the power of freedom and to make him sensible of the duties, and worthy the privileges of a person in the midst of a universe of things. "Personality, however, is not mechanically formed from without, but must be evoked from within. The appeal of the teacher therefore is constantly directed to the inner spirit of the student, that spirit of life which informs the man and puts him into possession of his powers. The forces which find play in the activities of the mind are like the architectonic principle which is at work in the inner nature of a plant, fashioning it into the form of grace and beauty. Thus with the emancipation of a free spirit at the source of his being, the man within begins to develop both in power and in promise. "An education is won by work; and the labors to be undertaken and the end to be attained may all be summed up in the command—Be a person. This is a command which is not merely the word of the teacher, but is essentially an inner compulsion possessing the solemn authority of self-legislation." It is not enough to train the mind to think wisely upon the small as well as the large affairs of life, which find expression in thoughts that are spoken and written thence converted into works; it is equally necessary to train the forces of the heart that work silently and crave all manner of food and drink and apparel that may gratify vanity for the time being but bankrupt pride and often character in the long run. The system is full of microbial forces that crave and lust after things that destroy health and make for scandalous expenditures that in turn make for poverty and misery in the end. The educated mind knows best how to control these silent forces that crave and lust after forbidden things, and how to deny them; while the ignorant, untrained mind denies them nothing and is finally devoured by the vanity that "eats, drinks and makes merry because tomorrow it may die." That is not wisdom—New York Age. Men are needed on guard everywhere, negro men, who have their own best interests at heart, who know their best interests, and therefore have the best interests of their own people and those of the nation at heart. No man can help others who cannot help himself. That is a self-evident truth to all those who do not make a fat living out of others on the pretext of helping them instead; parasites they, who preach loud and long the wisdom of working and saving for the rainy day but who do not work themselves and save nothing, and must depend upon the charity of those to whom they preach for everything they need; gamblers they, who spend most of their time and talent thinking out how they can make something for nothing, how they can coax out of others, who want "to get rich quick," that they have worked hard for, by the turn of a card or a twist of the stock market, gambling for the most part on "a sure thing," allke the gambler in the Tenderloin and gambler in Wall and Broad streets. And there is another sort, of the parasite class, who deal in what people must have to eat and drink and wear, who adulterate whatever they have to sell and give short weight and measure, and carry the price on all things as high as they can without arousing the suspicion of the customer; cheats they are, and they are to be found wherever men buy and sell. Men are needed on guard everywhere to keep flying the flag of right thinking and honest living and dealing; to make a positive factor in their lives and the lives of others the Christian philosophy of brotherhood, of friendship, of common faith, without which no work can be properly done, no word safely relied upon. The word of truth and the works of honest men go together; when so united in one person all the community singles him out and says of him, "Now, there's an honest, reliable man who can be depended upon to do what he says he will do." A certificate of character like that in any community is worth a fortune to any man. Our young men in all sections are going into business for themselves; they should do it and be encouraged in doing it, because a race of servers, of loafing parasites, who make all and spend all of and with others than their own, hewers of wood and drawers of water, with no great enterprises of their own, matured or on the way to maturity, cannot respect itself and need not expect others to do so. Barred out of the manufacturing industries, the wholesale and retail trades, and the banking business, their children denied employment and opportunity for promotion in them, there is nothing left for 10,000,000 people so circumstanced, as Afro-Americans are, to do but to build up manufacturing industries, wholesale and retail trades and banking business of their own. They cannot accept the industrial and business station, place they call it, whiten want them to occupy without sinking finally to the level of the Mexican peon, the Egyptian fellaheen and the Chinese coolle. That they are not doing anything of the sort is shown unmistakably by the report of the twelfth annual convention of the National Negro Business league, held in Little Rock, in August of last year. The report shows that the 12 years of constant work by the business league has had a wonderfully stimulating influence upon the business initiative and development of the negro. The foundation is laid and they are building the superstructure slowly but surely. We need men on guard everywhere to set the example of making the most of small things as well as great things, such as they have done at Boley, Okla., Mound Bayou, Miss., and other places, and as they are doing in an isolated way in all parts of the country. Our vast industrial population, wage earners, should regard the business ventures of our men as their own ventures, and support them to the utmost of their means and opportunity. They will find it a good investment in the enhanced respect the success of the ventures will insure to the race and in the employment of their sons and daughters in profitable work, with a chance to learn how to conduct business undertakings of their own when they walk out of the schools into the world of affairs, where "the victory is not to the swift, nor yet to the strong, but to him that endureth to the end."—New York Age. The school has recently installed a six thousand egg capacity incubator. With the smaller incubators which have been in use for some time, this will give an egg capacity of nearly ten thousand. The institute is trying to make its poultry plant of the largest possible service to the students in poultry raising, as well as to the several thousand farmers of the south who gather at the institute from time to time during the year. There are in the poultry yard at the present time 3,950 fowls, of which 1,460 are chicks hatched within the past few weeks. Southern Letter. Mrs. Rosa Simpson, one of the deaconesses from Galveston, Texas, says that Champion Jack Johnson paid her expenses to the Methodist conference. He met her in Chicago, and took her to his house to see his mother, also telegraphed a friend in St. Paul to meet her and find a nice place for her to stay. She says that Jack did this because of his good heart.—Minneapolis Star. We have great faith in the final triumph of right and in the words of the prophet, will be content to wait "until the day break and the shadows flee away."—Richmond Planet DR. THIRKIELD'S SUCCESSOR CONSENSUS OF OPINION AMONG MEMBERS OF THE RACE IS THAT NEXT PRESIDENT OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY SHOULD BE A NEGRO. Washington, D. C.—The election of Dr. Wilbur T. Thirkield to the bishopric in the M. E. church will cause a vacancy in the presidency of How... university. Already a number of prominent colored educators have been mentioned for the vacancy. Who will succeed Dr. Thirkield as president of Howard is not merely of interest to the colored people in Washington, where the university is located, but it is of great interest to every one of the 1,200 Howard students, to the several hundred Howard alumni, and to the thousands of colored men and women everywhere interested in the education of the race primarily, and in higher education secondarily. Dr. Thirkield is a white man. Every president Howard has had has been a white man. Many colored men, and correctly, too, think the next president ought to be a colored man in order to constantly emphasize the need of Howard university as an institution of learning to give hope. There is nothing in the laws and rules establishing and governing Howard to make it a separate institution for colored, yet the entire student body is colored, not a white student to be seen in any department. It is as effectually a colored institution as if made so by congressional action or judicial decision. President Thirkield, although himself white, and although a very successful president, has not been able to attract a single white student in the past several years. The faculty, for the most part, is composed of colored professors and instructors. Howard university by and through the mutations of race prejudice has become, so far as its student body is concerned, distinctly a colored institution, and congress appropriates for it upon this assumption. There are, however, colored men who claim, and are insisting, that Dr. Thirkield's successor must be a white man for the reason that it is not time to make a colored man president of Howard. The men who advance this argument not only discredit their race and pelittle themselves, but they give white men an argument to use against placing a colored man in any new position whatsoever. If it is not time to elect a colored man president of Howard then the time is not yet ripe for colored trustees for that institution, and those colored men who are now serving as trustees ought to resign in order to be in harmony with the backward movement. If it is not time for a colored president of Howard is it not possible that the colored deans at Howard are serving in positions several years in advance of the race's right to these positions? The pioneer is always met with the laggard's argument of "it is not time." Catching their cue from race prejudice, and backed up by weak, servile colored men, some white men have always objected to the entrance of every colored man upon any unbeaten path on the ground "it is not time." When R. H. Terrell and E. M. Hewlett were proposed for municipal judges here white men who coveted all the offices, and colored men who lacked race confidence and race pride contended that the time was not ripe for such appointments. The men were appointed, however, and both filled the positions acceptably and well, and in some cases better than any of their white associates. Given the opportunity to succeed as municipal judges has prepared these men for a round higher on the judicial ladder. There is not a single place occupied by colored men today but what was won against and in spite of the "not time" argument. When it was proposed to raise $100,000 for a colored Y. M. C. A. building here the same weak argument of "not time" was used, yet the conception of, the camganiging for, and the raising of that $100,000 was the work of colored men; and now Dr. Moreland, international secretary, and Lewis E. Johnson, local secretary, whose efforts more than any two men are responsible for the success, can behold the completed, furnished, equipped and occupied $100,000 colored Y. M. C. A. building. Who will say it is not time for a colored man to manage this institution? And it is just as reasonable to say that a white man should be in control of and manage the $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building as to say a white man, of a necessity, should be head of Howard university. One of the favorite, and as they think convincing, arguments of these colored men who favor a white president for Howard is that the president must raise money for the maintenance of the institution, and no colored man can be found equal to such a task. Dr. Booker T. Washington founded Tuskegee and developed it to its present amazing status, raising himself all the several millions that have been expended upon it. Dr. Washington is spoken of as being a colored man. Indeed he himself publicly admits it. The president of Howard university is not called upon to solicit moneys from any source except congress. oCngress appropriates all that is required for the steep and improvement of Howard, in excess of the moneys derived from the institution's endowment fund. The president of Howard makes out and writes with the secretary of the interior each year an estimate of the appropriations required for maintenance and improvements. He goes over these estimates with the secretary, and if he is able to convince the secretary of the interior that the estimates are just, warranted and needed, these estimates, along with other estimates, are trans- mitted to congress. When the appropriation committee of congress reaches the estimates the president of Howard appears before the committee, explains the estimates and urges their allowance by congress. If no colored man can be found who can do this then Howard university itself has been a failure, and the advancement of the race has been backward rather than forward. Freedmen's hospital, also a government maintained colored institution, is one of the largest, finest, best equipped and most splendidly managed hospitals in the country. It has a colored man for surgeon-in-chief. Under him the discipline is admirable, and the results attained splendid. As head of this institution he has secured congressional appropriation far in excess of any appropriation ever secured by any white president for Howard university. If it were possible to secure so well equipped colored executive for Freedmen's hospital it follows that somewhere there is a colored man who can meet all emergencies at Howard The social life about any institution is always an accelerator or a retardence—just as it encompasses or restricts. At Howard there has been an absence of that social life, emanating from or gravitating to the president's home, so characteristic of other similar institutions. In spite of Dr. Thirkeld's interest in and zeal for the institution, and in spite of the fact that he probably has not aimed to socially exclude and seclude himself and family, yet the president's house at Howard has ever been a "beautiful isle of somewhere," and rarely has its threshold been crossed by students, faculty or wives of faculty members in a social way. Such a condition could not obtain were the president a colored man. Howard university is recognized everywhere as a colored institution of learning. Its faculty, for the most part, is colored. Many of the trustees are colored men. In a few years Howard has gradually, surely, and without compulsion changed from an institution of learning for all classes to one for colored alone. If it is not time now for the selection of a colored educator as president that time will never arrive, in the opinion of those who cling to the servile "not time" argument. If in all these United States no colored man can be found equipped for the presidency of Howard, then Howard, and every other colored institution has been teaching a false theory and instilling into colored young men and women a false hope. If a white man of Dr. Thirkield's caller could prove a success as president of Howard university, then there are many colored men who, if given the opportunity, may be as eminently successful. There is no intention to disparage Dr. Thirkield—only to give full credit to men of our own race. WAR ON "TIGERS" URGED BY PASTOR DR. PROCTOR DEPLORES THEIR DEADLY INFLUENCE OVER COLORED PEOPLE. Atlanta.—Rev. H, H. Proctor preached at the First Congregational church (colored) on "Blind Tigers and the Men and Women Who Feed Them." "Blind Tigers are working havoc among the colored people of Atlanta," he said. "Whether they operate in the street, in a place of business, in a private house or in a house of evil, their influence is deadly among our people. They promote lawlessness, idleness, vice and crime. They corrupt men and women and destroy boys and girls. The colored people have no greater handicap in this community than this illicit liquor-selling. A visit to the recorder's court tomorrow morning will confirm this. "But these 'tigers' could not exist unless they were fed. Every man or woman who purchases liquor from them is a feeder of the tiger, and an amendment should be made to the law making the purchaser as guilty as the seller, for one could not operate without the other. Those who rent their property to persons who carry on this business help to feed the tiger; put him in the street, and he could be more easily caught and punished. Those who lend their moral influence to the tiger help to feed him; he who enters this business should be made to feel the weight of the disapproval of all good people." FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS One of the most familiar quotations from the Bible which are not to be found there upon research is "the lion lying down with the lamb." The spirit of the reference is correct enough, but turn up the passage in Isaiah and you will find: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together." The popular mind has condensed the zoological miscellany, and to the incorrect version alliteration has no doubt contributed.—Exchange. JUST "TOO LITTLE NIGGER." The negro small boy on the plantation had eaten a great deal of watermelon and was suffering from indigestion in consequence. The doctor gravely diagnosed the case as too much watermelon." "No, sah!" said the old negro mammy. "No sich thing! Nevah was too much watermilion!" Then looking the small negro over, she added: "No, not too much watermilion—too little nigger—"Judge.

Did you ever stop to think that the Negro has to be made to work? As a truth capable of demonstration, it really appears that this is the case. Of course, it is not universally so, but the requirement seems to fit him so well as a genenal characteristic that the problem is engaging the at- tention of the world’s civilizing and developing forces, especially upon the Negro’s native hearth. Work, industry, hard labor and struggle, are the voluntary obligations assumed by civilization, and civilized society would be short lived if this obligation were not perpetually fulfilled. ‘That the Indian will not work is proverbial, and because of that fact he has steadily f@ded before the advancing and overwhelming forces of in- dustry. As a rule, the Negro in Africa does not have to work to jive, any more than the American Indian had to work, but he can work and will work under various forms of persuasion, inducement or compulsion. Slavery was compulsory labor, and though its barbarous injustice and accompanying hor- rors condemned it finally in the eyes of all civilized people, it inculeated in the American Negro the habit of industry and gave him the necessary and acceptable means of protecting and sustaining himself as an independent, emancipated part of society. Here, necessity compels all men to work, and it is well that it does. But the African nature is unchanged, and the white man is taking possession of and developing Africa because the African does not realize that labor is necessary to develop’and the mastery of the earth. But the white man is unable to work in tropical Africa, or any where else in the tropics, it seems, and so he is endeayoring to induce the Negro to work, for the development of the Negro’s own country, for the benefit and control of the white man. And he reports that he is succeeding. Where slavery or other form of compulsion failed. the principle of adequate compensation, based upon the amount of work accomplished, is leading the native Negro into the ways of regular labor. Regular labor, free labor, voluntary labor—is the source of all human development. It is well for the Negro that he can and will work. THE BLACK CHAMPION. We ail take a certain interest in legitimate sporting affairs, but we doubt that supremacy in any particular line of sport gratifies any people quite so much as the success of a representative of our race gratifies the Colored peo ple in general. The white people may idolize their pugilists, but, we are in- clined to think, not so much nor so generally as we are prone to idolize our black ring champions, ‘The glory of the pugilist is too great a thing in the perspective of a black boy’s ambition, He “learns” to sport, because it is a form of play, and with the possibilities of applause and glory opened up to him, such as the prize ring seems to offer, he is very much inclined to adopt @ course whose highest pinnacle appears to require no great mental exer- tion, and only that line of physical activity which can be looked upon as spectacular, The extravagance of our ardor in this line makes possible that dogfight feature of pugilism known as a “battle royal,” furnished only by Negro aspirants for pugilistic recognition. ‘The Negro oves applause and he will fight like a dog for it, at the behest of the white sporting man. Even from his humble beginning the star of hope points him upward to the world-wide glories of the Black championship, But after all, the glories of pugilism do our race little good. In these days of big purses, pugilistic success means riches, but almost invariably it also means a period of fast living and an early death, usually in want and misery. George Dixen died in the alcoholic ward of a New York hospital, prac- tically penniless and without friends.” He was only thirty-sqven years old. But he had been called the greatest fighter of his time. For nearly fifteen years he was practically unbeatable, and he made a fortune for himself and for his white manager, Tom O'Rourke. He was a photographer when he first took the notion to box, and early successes led him into a fast life of ring glory and consequent dissipation, and he died a wasted drunkard, Peter Jackson died of consumption, a charge upon his friends. But the Sporting spirit, if not John Barleycorn, is his master, and if he lives long and prospers, he will have to adopt Rip Van Winkle’s methad. ‘These occasional black champions, winning the applause and the money of a great, white, sporting element, are the criterions for the myriad of black followers of the ring, the most of whom reap the usual fate without the glory of which they dreamed. $494 04-6-6-4-06-0510-54405 55 ooh A A ed Le The Domestic Bourbons, Some men’s idea of keeping abreast of the times is to stay home and read the stories in the magazines when it rains on Sunday afternoons, and there isn’t any ball game.—Ohio State Jour. nal, Perfection of Eastern Bells.

Good |] Conserve Goes) Health | mon Fast NY PERSON with little of this world’s goods, dependent upon himself for a livelihood, has no more important possession than his health therefore, he should husband it with the greatest possible care. He may skimp easily enough on his food to a limit, i. e., a point to go beyond which would jeopardize his health, Should his finances be such that he must either go for some time without plain, nourishing food (if he be a person possessing no more than an average constitution), or without some new garment, it would be far wiser for him to again clean and repair his old garment and wear it until he may have a new one, without injury to his health, Moreover, one dressed in clean, well-cared-for clothes is never really poorly dressed, even though the clothes show wear. Eyen should a person deprive himself of proper food, and in that way manage to make a good appearance for a time, thus enabling himself to secure a start which would make him a financial success in life, if ill health came with or before the suceess, as a result of his having undermined his constitution through lack of proper nourishment, what real pleasure or satisfaction could he have? * Another point: every one knows that there is a wonderful satisfac- tion, which is often beneficial, in appearing prosperous; but, personally, how I appear to myself is quite as important as how I appear to others in making me feel satisfied. I am sure, therefore, that with worn but clean and well-cared-for clothing, and a stomach not asking for what is rightfully its due, I could make a much more self-respecting appearance than I could with the most up-to-date raiment covering an abused and complaining stomach. I know if I were hungry I should make a gaunt and hungry appearance, though I might be ever so well dressed.

The Victoria to be Occupied by Negraes After July 1 On July 1 the elegantly appointed seven-story structure, known as the Victoria, located at 546-552 Lenox avenue, corner of 138th street, will be thrown open to colored tenants, and notice has been given to whites now occupying apartments to vacate by the first of the month. The announcement that Negroes will replace the white people in the Victoria is the talk of Harlem, as the building will be the first elevator apartment house ever occupied by colored people in New York. Those of the race who desire to live in grand style, with elevator, telephone and hall boy service, can now realize their cherished ambition, as the Victoria is considered one of the finest apartment houses in Harlem, Humor has it that the building is owned by Hannah Elias. The Victoria is in charge of Montague and Carmand, 50 Broad St., who have announced that apartments will be rented to the best class of Negroes only, and that an order to become a tenant every applicant will have to give references as to his moral and financial standing in the community. The Victoria is in what is rapidly becoming the heart of the colored residential section of Harlem, and near the new theatre which is being erected by colored men of W. 138th street. The apartment house was built about ten years ago and is said to be worth about $250,000. The property was purchased of the Bergeamp Realty Company, of which George B. Bergeamp, exmayor of West Hoboken, is president. The white tenants are not in the best of humor over the information imparted to them the first of the week that they would have to give up their sumptuous quarters by July 1, and many claim that they have been greatly inconvenienced by the change. Montague and Carmand assert that they do not anticipate much difficulty in renting the "stylish apartments" to colored people. New York Age. Nicely furnished rooms for rent at 2318 Arapahoe street.

JOHNSON WINS; POLICE INTERFERE PUEBLO FIREMAN LOSES IN THE NINTH ROUND; USES FOUL TACTICS. JOE RIVERS IS LOSER WOLGAST DECLARED WINNER OF LOS ANGELES CONTEST IN THIRTEENTH ROUND. East Las Vegas, N. M.—Before a crowd of approximately 4,500 people, Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion of the world, successfully defended his title against Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, July 4 at Curley's monster arena. The end came in the ninth round when Captain Fred Fornoff of the New Mexico mounted police jumped into the ring, followed by a dozen of his deputies, and called a halftone of the most one-sided and dirtiest contests ever witnessed. Time and again the referee, Ed Smith, warned Flynn for foul tactics; time and again Flynn deliberately jumped off his feet and butted Johnson with the top of his head. Captain Fornoff of the state force, personal representative of Governor McDonald, declared that it was no longer a boxing contest; that it was a brutal exhibition, and that Flynn's foul tactics made its continuance impossible. He jumped into the ring with his deputies and drove fighters and officials who followed him to the corners. Referee Ed W Smith then announced that Johnson had won and the fight was over. As early as the third round it was evident to Flynn that he had no chance and it looked as if he wanted to lose on a deliberate foul. In the sixth round Flynn was warned by Referee Ed Smith, who stopped the contest to inform him that he would be disqualified if he continued his dirty work. In the seventh round Watson Burns, Johnson's chief adviser, almost jumped through the ropes to claim a foul for his man. Flynn continued to butt Johnson in the same manner. Johnson tried to overlook Flynn's dirty work but could stand it no longer. In the eighth round Johnson appealed to Referee Ed Smith to make Flynn stop butting. Referee Smith again stopped the contest and warned Flynn that he would tolerate his butting tactics no longer. Johnson seemd serious in the ninth round and split Flynn's nose wide open with a straight left jab. Flynn, angered beyond all control, deliberately an at Johnson and butted him in the mouth with his head three times. It was here that Captain Fornoff stopped the fight. Referee Smith then declared Johnson the winner. Before the men entered the ring it was agreed that should the police interfer or anything unforesseen should happen the man having the better of the contest up to this time should be declared the winner. Los Angeles, Calif.—Champion Ad. Wolgast defeated Joe Rivers in the thirteenth round of a scheduled twenty-round bout at the Vernon arena. July 4 th. The ending was most unsatisfactory. With half a minute left in the thirteenth round, Rivers and Wolgast were both fighting hard when the champion hit the local boy in the groin. Rivers doubled up, ready to drop to the mat, and Wolgast rushed in to finish him, when Rivers hit into the stomach with a right-hand punch. Rivers dropped to the floor and Wolgast fell on top of him three seconds afterward. Jack Welch started to count Rivers out but had not finished the count when the bell sounded. Welch helped Wolgast to his feet and Rivers rose to his feet before Wolgast. Welch made a motion that looked like he sent both of the boys to their corner. Over two-thirds of the spectators thought that the bout was to be continued. The crowd jumped in the ring and for ten minutes they were puzzled as to the outcome of the battle. When Referee Welch declared Wolgast the winner, Wolgast was carried to his corner in a very bad way. Rivers was examined by three of the leading physicians of Los Angeles and they all say that he was fouled. The first three rounds were all Rivers'. In the second he hit Wolgast on the head with a hard right, which caused the blood to flow all through the battle. Rivers had the best of the milling up to the time Wolgast was declared winner.

I have taken six bottles of the Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. If you want to refer anyone to me I will gladly express the merits of this medicine. Yours truly, A. J. LYLE, Continental Building.

Now and then there appears a remarkable book of personal experiences throwing light from a new viewpoint upon some old problem and adding one more to the list of polignant human documents. Such a book is "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man," which is published by Sherman, French & Co., without mention of the author's name for reasons which are soon apparent. It is the product of an unusual and well-equipped mind, and while in intellectual ability it does not achieve the plane of Booker Washington's "Up From Slavery" or Mary Antin's "The Promised Land," it ranks near those two striking books and is possessed of a certain element which may be termed either legitimate romance or legitimate tragedy, and which is to be found in neither of them. It does not sound the note of optimism, nor is it constructive in the sense that both Dr. Washington's book and that of the young Jewish immigrant are constructive, but it tells a story of intense human interest in the terms of fact and personal experience such as has been told before only in weakly imaginative fiction. The solution of the title, "The Autobiography of an ex-Colored Man" is the one which must suggest itself to the curious reader, since there is only one. The author is the son of a white southerner and a very light mulatto, and is himself so fair that after having been identified with negroes in the south, and to a certain extent in the north, he has been able to withdraw himself wholly from relations with that race and, for the sake of the children borne him by his white wife, now dead, to class himself as a white man. So far as concerns the practical importance of the book, it is to be found chiefly in the warning account of the negro underworld in the big city. As for the complete identification of this man of negro blood with the white race, the narrative may excite the fears of imaginative persons that what has happened in this case may be repeated in others, to the eventful amalgamation of the races. But while it is not for a moment to be supposed that this is the only instance of its kind, those who confuse such fears may be left to deal with them. The author was born in a little town in Georgia, which he does not name, a few years after the close of the Civil war. Of his birthplace he recalls only dim recollections of a little house with flowers around it, and of various people who moved in and about it, but of whom he has only a distinct mental image; one his mother, and the other "a tall man with a small, dark mustache." who, as he was to learn later, was his father. While still a little lad, he and his mother moved north by steamer, and after landing in New York, went to a little town in Connecticut, also not named, which became his boyhood home. There they lived in a small cottage, while his mother took in sewing and he went to school, fully believing himself to be a white boy, and failing to understand the intensity of his mother's reproof when he came home and told of one of the "nigger" children at school. But the day of disillusionment came. One morning the principal of the school came to the room and called upon "all the white children to stand for a moment." "I rose with the others," writes the author, and adds: "The teacher looked at me, and calling my name, sald. 'You may sit down for the present, and rise with the others.'" At first he did not understand and the light scarcely began to break in even when, after school was dismissed and he went out in a kind of stupor, a few of the white children feared at him, saying, "Oh, you're a nigger, too." The narrative which is thus introduced is told clearly and vividly, although with a touch now and then of sentimental emotion, which is the less to be wondered at as the author describes his ususual musical achievements, which suggest plainly the tempermental racial inheritance. He was 11 years old or thereabouts at the time of his discovery of the negro blood in his veins, and for some years after that he remained in the little Connecticut town, developing his musical talent, and once seeing his father, who came to visit the little cottage. On his mother's death, the boy, who would appear to have been about 16 years, went to Atlanta to enter the negro college there. Before entering the college, his hoarded money was stolen in a negro boarding house, and, ashamed of his carelessness, he did not dare to go to the college authorities, but instead, taking the advice of the negro porter, who proved afterward to have probably been the thief, he went to Jacksonville, where he obtained work in a cigar factory. With the manual dexterity which came partly from plano playing, he soon became an expert workman, and then, with his newly discovered capacity for languages, he acquired a command of Spanish, and was repaid by being selected as "reader" in the cigar factory. As a regular institution in all factories which employ Spanish-speaking workmen, the "reader" is perhaps by this time familiar through frequent description; he sits in the center of the room in which the cigarmakers work, and reads to them for a certain time each day the important news from the papers and whatever else he may consider interesting, sometimes selecting a novel and reading it in daily installments. Through his music teaching the author became acquainted with "the best class of colored people in Jacksonville," adding that "this was really" his entrance "into the race." Not only does he write strongly of the upward struggle of the negroes, but in his account of conditions in Jacksonville and in other cities, he gives an unusual picture of well-to-do, well-educated negro society. As for the negroes in the south he declares that they may be roughly divided into three classes, not so much in respect to themselves as in respect to their relations with the whites. The first class which he describes are the lowest, that from which the criminals chiefly come. It is a class which he declares to represent but a small proportion of the colored people, although unfortunately it often dominates public opinion concerning the whole race. "This class of blacks," he writes, "hates everything covered by a white skin and in regard they are loathed by the whites." The second class, as he divides them, comprises the servants, the washwomen, the waiters, the cooks, all, in a word, who are connected with the whites by domestic service, and between this class of the blacks and the whites he declares there is little or no friction. His third class is composed of the independent workmen and tradesmen and of the well-to-do and educated colored people, and he adds that for a directly opposite reason they are as far removed from the whites as the members of the first class. These people live in a little world of their own and he points out that whereas the proudest of southern women could, with propriety, and undoubtedly would in fact, go to the cabin of Aunt Mary, her cook, if Aunt Mary was sick, and minister to her comfort with her own hands, "if, on the other hand, Aunt Mary's daughter who used to hang around the kitchen, but who has received an education and married a prosperous young colored man, were at death's door, the white woman would no more think of crossing the threshold of the daughter's cottage than she would of going into a barroom for a drink." From Jacksonville, on the closing of the cigar factory, the author drifted to New York, and the result is a description of the negro "underworld" of the metropolis such as probably has never been written before. The young man with a little money in his pocket was taken about by negro friends to various resorts, including a gambling club, frequented by negro "sports" and the like, together with white persons of certain sorts. Although vivid, the description is in no sense abhorrent, although a Zola might, indeed, have envy of it as the basis of a picture to be filled out by the unrelenting addition of details. As it is, the reader is introduced to clubs and restaurants where negro jockeys, flushed with their winnings on the turf, buy "wine" recklessly for all who sit around beneath the colored celebrities upon the wall, Frederick Douglass to "Jack" Johnson, and the like. From this gaslight existence, as he well describes it, the author was rescued through his musical ability. In one of these resorts he had his first introduction to "rag-time" music, which was then unknown. With his classical education in music he was able to develop and adapt the negro melodies, and on the other hand to play classical music in ragtime. In the end he became a "professor" at the piano in a negro resort, and there was taken up by a white man of wealth and leisure in search of novelty, who employed him to play at Bohemian dinners and finally took him abroad as a companion, giving him opportunities in France and Germany to pluck up not only the languages but more musical knowledge. It was at Berlin that after having played some ragtime music at a gathering of musical people, the author galued what for the time he conceived to be the inspiration of his life work. He had hardly finished his ragtime when an enthusiastic German brushed him off the stool and taking the same theme varied and developed it through every known musical form. "I had been turning classical music into ragtime, a comparatively easy task; and this man had taken ragtime and made it classical." The thought flashed into his mind that there was his opportunity, that the music of America might be developed from the negro melodies. He then determined to leave his leisure loving companion and go back to the United States to work as a negro composer. The decision made, he returned to the country and began his labors among the southern negroes in collecting their melodies, and the chapter in which he tells of this work will prove one of exceptional interest to any who have found an appeal in negro music. But it was while engaged in this work in a thinly settled district that he witnessed a lynching in which the wretched victim was not merely hung but burned to death. Sick at heart, he determined, as he frankly expresses it, to forsake his race, "that I would change my name, raise a mustache, and let the world take me for what it would, that it was not necessary for me to go about with a label of inferiority pasted across my forehead. All the while I understood that it was not discouragement, or fear, or search for a larger field of action and opportunity that was driving me out of the negro race. I knew that it was shame, unbearable shame. Shame at being identified with a people that could with impunity be treated worse than animals. For certainly the law would restrain and punish the malicious burning alive of animals." Returning to New York, the author finally succeeded in carving out a new career for himself, being accepted without question as a white man, and by dint of perseverance in taking a business training in a business school and in working his way up has evidently acquired a remunerative position in some commercial establishment. For reasons which are again obvious, he is not specific in his description in this part of the story. His music had been put aside as merely a diversion and he frankly declares that he set himself to make money. After a time in the circles of white society in which he moved without New England hills to think her prob whom he describes with sincere feeling, and after telling her of his inheritance and living a summer of worn anxiety while she retired to the New England hills to thing her problem out, they were married. With the coming of their second child, he lost her and so, as was stated at the opening, is living his life for his children, yet at the close he speaks of his position with complete frankness. "Sometimes," he writes, "it seems to me that I have been only a privileged spectator of their inner life; at other times I feel that I have been a coward, a deserter, and I am possessed by a strange longing for my mother's people. To this he adds a reference to a meeting which he attended several years ago at Carnegie Hall in the interest of Hampton Institute. "The Hampton students sang the old songs and awoke memories that left me sad. Among the speakers were R. C. Ogden, ex-Ambassador Choate, and Mark Twain, but the greatest interest of the audience was centered in Booker T. Washington, and not because he so much surpassed the others in eloquence, but because of what he represented with so much earnestness and faith. And it is this that all of that small but gallant band of colored men who are publicly fighting the cause of their race have behind them. Even those who oppose them know that these men have the eternal principles of right on their side, and they will be victors, even though they should go down in defeat. Beside them I feel small and selfish. I am an ordinarily successful white man who has made a little money. They are men who are making history and race. I, too, might have taken part in a work so glorious. My love for my children makes me glad that I am what I am, and keeps me from desiring to be otherwise; and yet, when I sometimes open a little box in which I still keep my fast yellowing manuscripts, the only tangible remnants of a vanished dream, a dead ambition, a sacrificed talent. I cannot repress the thought that, after all, I have chosen the lesser part, that I have sold my birthright for a mess of potage.—From the Springfield, Mass., Republican. THE BOYS' PROBLEM By JOHN ANDREW HARRIS. Among the many things that confront the negro today, and among the many problems that are indispensable to the solution of the race problem, is the problem of the boys. It is a foregone conclusion the boys must solve the race question, for it has truly been said, the boys and girls are the arbiters of the destiny of the race. Hence it is high time that something be done toward lending them aid in this work of such vital importance. True it is that a corrupt tree cannot bear good fruit. Neither can a father, whose life is corrupt, raise unto himself a son whose life will be pure and shining as the glow of the noonday sun. For the boy that comes out of such a home will be sure to lead an "unkindly light." We have carefully noticed that the boys that make men of worth and men that count, are those that come out of the best homes. Not necessarily homes of wealth and renown only, or homes where bounty and plenty are always to be found, but homes where fathers and mothers have given vent to the teaching of ethics and have spent their lives in defense of virtuous boys and girls, fathers and mothers who have been known to send up their prayers and supplications daily to the Deity in defiance of popularity and the fascinating things of vanity. True it is that the race has made a wonderful progress. The progress of the race is largely due to the training received by our earlier fathers and mothers who ventured the threshold of responsibility without education, refinement, enlightenment, or any of the qualities with which we of today are blessed. But we find today reared by their hands, men, yea honorable men, whose portraits shall adorn the imperishable halls of fame. BOASTED OF HIS ANCESTORS When in England Governor Foss of Massachusetts had luncheon with a widely known Englishman, noted for boasting of his ancestry. Taking a coin from his pocket the Englishman said: "My great-grandfather was made a lord by the king whose picture you see on this shilling." "Indeed!" replied the governor, smiling. "What a coincidence! My great-great-grandfather was made an angel by the Indian whose picture you see on this cent."—Lippincott's Magazine. POSITIVELY BRUTAL.

Washington.—A few years ago Woolsey W. Hall, an Afro-American was a laborer working for $548 a year in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, but now, he is a stenographer in the division of printing and stationery, at an annual salary of $1,400. The story of the rise of this young man is interesting. Hall was born in Washington and educated in the public schools of the city. When he had completed his course in the high school, instead of accepting a place as a teacher, he decided to enter the government service, begin at the bottom and work his way to the top. He went into the bureau of engraving and printing as a laborer at $548 per year. He tolled hard during the day, but studied stenography at night and soon become proficient. In the winter of 1905, Hon. J. Milton Turner, of Missouri, was before congress fighting for the interests of the freedom of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian tribes, and the bull of the testimony and evidence necessary to be presented to the committee of congress being too voluminous of his regular stenographer he employed Hall after department hours. Mr. Turner's sponsor in congress was Hon. Richard Bartholdt, of St. Louis, the then chairman of the house committee on public buildings and grounds, and the clerk of this committee at that time, Mr. Edward E. Miller, mentioned to Mr. Turner that he was overrun with work and would like to secure the services of a stenographer until the rush was over. Mr. Turner inquired if the stenographer's color or race was a consideration. Mr. Miller replied that the only qualification required by Congressmen Bartholdt, Rodenburg and himself was proficiency. Turner then took Hall to Congressmen Rodenberg and Bartholdt, and from that hour fortune has seemed to smile on his pathway, for Congressmen Rodenberg interested himself in Hall, worked with him over confidential legislative and personal correspondence, thus giving young Hall the best and most practical stenographic education it is possible to receive, and as a climax to this work, in 1908, when Mr. Miller found the work of handling the omnibus public buildings bill of the 60th congress to require more stenographic help and asked that some arrangement be made to detail Hall to the committee, Congressman Rodenberg prevailed upon Chairman Bartholdt to request the house to appropriate for an assistant clerk to the committee and when the place was created, had Hall appointed. When Hon. Franklin MacVeagh became secretary of the treasury in 1909, Hall had reached the grade of messenger in the office of an assistant secretary of the treasury at $1,000 per annum. Mr. Rodenberg told Hall that a young man who was qualified by experience and competitive examination for a clerical place should not be retarded in life and kept a messenger, even at $1,000 a year, and without solicitation on Hall's part, Congressman Rodenberg of Illinois, whose interest in the race is well known, called upon Secretary MacVeagh and after a short consultation received a promise that Hall would be given an opportunity. He was at once transferred to one of the divisions of the secretary's office, as a clerk, at $900 (the regular entrance salary), and shortly thereafter he was promoted to $1,200, skipping the $1,000 grade. He has again been promoted by Secretary MacVeagh, to $1,400 per annum. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeigh is known as the "Square Deal Secretary" and he well deserves the title, because the employees in his department get a square deal. When the secretary "discovers" a young colored man who has made good he does not hesitate in giving him a promotion. There are 1,400 Afro-Americans in the treasury department and their annual salaries aggregate more than $1,000,000. WOULD NOT SAVE HIS HEROINE Balfour's toast of the "literature in particular which serves the great cause of cheering us all up," reminds one how an artist was once tempted to give the heroine health and happiness. "Clarissa Harlowe" ran its course in volumes issued periodically, and at the end of the sixth Clarissa was left dying. This affected a misguided enthusiasm that he at once offered Richardson $5,000 if in the next volume he would restore her to health. Richardson refused. Literature has its heroes.—London Chronicle. THE RIVER NILE. These are some of the pupils' answers to examination problems in Butte, Mont.: The countries benefited by the overflow of the Nile are Europe, Asia, Australia and America, because they are not there to be drowned. The source of the Nile river is its main strength. Example—A boy paid $8.25 for a wagon and sold it for $7.75. Did he gain or lose, and how much. Answer—He gained on the cents and lost on the dollars—Kansas City Star. Furnished Rooms And the Old Reliable Newport Thirst Parlors 6HORT ORDERS AT ALL hoe Street.

HOTEL ers from Curtis St. ABBOTT HOTEL BREWING Denver. Colo. Denver, Colo FASHIONS MODIFYING THE PANIER MANY VERSIONS OF THE LATEST STYLE TO BE SEEN. Parisian Idea Has Not Been Received With Full Favor in the United States, Though the Suggestion Is Followed. Versions of the panier are getting more numerous every day, but with few exceptions women seem a little shy of using the infness at the hips, where, indeed, it is only becoming to the slimnest and most youthful figures. Occasionally one finds a shop gown which is definitely of the plc- H curesque sort, with genuine hip ounches and a flavor of Watteau in all the touches of the creation; but such charming frivolities, which are copied faithfully by the private makers for ultra-smart wearers, are kept entirely for out-of-town use, as they should be. The panier drapery of the most popular sort carries out the idea with a very low puffing, this fulness being always below the knees and offering no obstacle to long, graceful lines. A tunic of this sort is shown with the gown, and if one wants to have a little fling with the panier idea here is the chance for it. The puffing of the tunic is of the most conservative spe- Inexpensive and Catisfactory Frame That Any One May Put Together at Home. Cut a piece of heavy cardboard 17 inches long and eight inches wide and shape one side of it like a coat hanger. Now punch a small hole in the center one inch from the top, and tie a piece of ribbon or tape through it to make a loop to hang it on. In the lower edge make two holes six inches apart and either insert large safety pins or sew in hooks to hang the skirt or your gowns to. This makes an inexpensive and very satisfactory frame to hang your summer lingerie or linen frocks and waistups upon, keeping them fresh for a long time after they have been ironed. These hangers may be padded with raw cotton and covered with fancy silk or flowered silkoline. A delicate sachet powder sprinkled over the cotton adds greatly to their attractiveness and perfumes the gown as well. Plain net And shadow laces Are in the first rank. Maybe the flesh tint will do. It pays to be painstaking about them. No gaps at neck or shoulder, collar line not too low. It requires about one yard for shallow yoke and sub cuffs. The gold pins so long worn at back are no longer smart. Small buttons and loops give a dainty, well-groomed look. Wedding trousseaux can be made or married by this one little dress finish. icles, and the style gives very smart opportunity for the use of two fabrics. With the panier gowns a figured material is often put under plain, the pattern showing through the goods, or else the scheme is reversed, with the dress of the plain and the tunic of the figured. Here the dress is of a figured voile in a pale shade of gray, lace in the same color trimming it effectively. The model is adapted to tingerie materials of soft fall, to muslin, swiss, soft-finished linen, etc. MARY DEAN. SUITS THE MANNISH STYLE Flat Bow of Black Satin the Most Appropriate That Can be Devised. A most unusual and good looking cavrat for wear with wash silk shirtwaists made in mannish styles is of black satin. There is a flat bow of the satin and one long end of the satin made double and widening out toward the bottom. This end is about eight inches long and is one and a half inches wide at the top and two and three-quarters inches wide at the bottom. Six round silver or gold buttons are placed at half-inch intervals at the lower end. On some of these ties a piece of rather heavy cream filet lace is folded flat around the satin end, about an inch and a half from the bottom, and the buttons are sewed in a row on the lace. Another black satin tie has a square bow laid in flat plaits and one long end of the double satin with a little ecru Valenciennes frilled on each side for about four inches of its length up from the lower end. The effect is very quaint. COMFORT IN THE BOUDOIR Up-to-Date Woman Has Every Garment Appropriate to the Hours of Relaxation. The cult of the artistic negligee has brought with it strongly emphasized attention to all the little niceties of informal attire, and when a woman has bought her dainty negligee robe she is only fairly started upon her extravagant career. A woman really cannot wear one of the silky, luxurious gowns over a petticoat not in keeping, and since corsets are dispensed with in hours of relaxation she must have brassieres for wear with the negligee, and, the corset garters being removed, there must be round garters for the negligee tolets. Comfortable boudour shoes, dainty enough to dwell at peace with the dainty robe, are needed, and she must needs wear silk stockings to match such light lined shoes and robe; and every self-respecting negligee toilet cries out for a boudoir cap. Chamoisette Gloves. The woman who is to travel much in the summer is adding to her shopping list, "several pairs of chamoisette gloves." These come in white and chamois color, and are a boon to any woman, for the double reason that they wear well and are also most reasonable; they are to be procured in elbow length and short also. The newest colors in dress gloves are, "old gold color" and "cafe au lait," the latter particularly are seen in 12-but ton length. Silver gray Arcadia silk is chosen for our dainty model, which is Magyar, and has the fronts and backs gathered and set to a shaped trimming of fancy silk or embroidery; the over-sleeves are also finished off with this, while the under ones are of ninon to match yoke. Materials required: One yard of silk 40 inches wide. Guest towels are still embroidered in colors, as well as white, and initials are now added in color in straight row, just above the embroidery; these towels make charming fancy work for hours spent on summer piazzas, and if one so wishes, can be had with embroidery already started. The cost varies with the quality of towel and pattern. THE PEARL 929 T First Class Tonsorial Artists in Call Again. Are you a member of THE R TION? If not, why not? You can liquors.
